Implications of the Implementation of Multicultural-Based Islamic Education in SMA Negeri 4 and SMKN 1 Poso

Abstract

Schools as a place of education have the primary function of educating the nation's generation to be good leaders and citizens who are responsible for all problems that arise in the community, such as disputes, brawls, fights, riots or social conflicts caused by internal or external factors. The goal is for people to live in harmony, safety, peace and prosperity together in this world. Internal factors that sometimes trigger the emergence of social conflict problems include differences in ethnicity, religion, race, culture and tradition or social inequality. This study aims to reveal the implications of implementing multicultural-based Islamic education in high school-level educational institutions in Poso Regency. The type of research used is Field Research. The locus of this research is SMA Negeri 4 and SMKN 1 Poso, Poso Regency. Data collection techniques were observation, interviews and documentation, and the data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that teachers and schools must carry out their roles in building inclusive diversity and developing multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education materials. The Role of Teachers and Schools in Building Inclusive Diversity are: First, a teacher must be able to be democratic; Second, the teacher must have a high sense of concern for certain events; Third, the teacher must explain that the essence of religious teachings is to create peace and prosperity for all humankind; Fourth, teachers must be able to provide an understanding of the importance of dialogue and deliberation in solving various problems. The development of Multicultural-Based Islamic Education Materials includes: First, the Quran; Second, fiqh material; Third, moral material that focuses its study on good and bad behaviour towards Allah SWT, the messengers, fellow human beings, oneself, and the environment; Fourth, the SKI material is material that is based on historical facts, and realities that were practiced in the social interactions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW with the people of Medina. In conclusion, multicultural education is education that respects plurality and heterogeneity, as well as education that respects and upholds cultural, ethnic, traditional and religious diversity. This education has long been practiced by the Messenger of Allah when he was in Medina al-Munawwarah, so Muslim students or the Muslim community must also apply it wherever they are.
